As the summer movie season continues to heat up, it’s always interesting to find a film that you didn’t expect to resonate with you in the way that it does … for me Splice is that film. I’m not a huge fan of horror films and I especially don’t like creepy movies that try to be creepy just for the sake of being creepy but Splice is a unique film with a fascinating story, great acting and a very interesting message....

While John Carpenter is most notable for being a horror master, the acclaimed director did dabble in other genres throughout his directing career. Carpenter tried his hand at a crime-thriller with Assault on Precinct 13 in 1976, and then took a shot at comedy and martial arts with Big Trouble in Little China in 1986. However, between those two films, in 1984, Carpenter directed Starman, a lesser-known sci-fi film starring Karen Allen (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark) and Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski)....

Fox Broadcasting is in negotiations with Steven Spielberg and Peter Chernin to board the ambitious drama project Terra Nova, which is described as following a family from 100 years in the future who travel back in time 150 million years to the strange and inhospitable environs of prehistoric Earth, according to Variety. The 20th Century Fox TV project would involve such elaborate sets and vfx that there’s been talk of greenlighting it directly to series production rather than a pilot because it would be too expensive to shut down and start up again during the downtime between pilot and episodic production....

Stranger Things captured the attention of multiple generations when it debuted in 2016. In four seasons and six years, we’ve watched these characters grow up - literally and figuratively. And yes, we’ve seen secondary characters come and go during this time, but Stranger Things is due for something big. It’s time for a main character to die. The thing about ensemble shows is that it gives showrunners latitude to work in terms of how they use their larger casts, and that includes killing some off....

NETWORKS GIVE UP VIEWERS FOR LENT Adding to the networks’ current woes, the number of viewers for their current fare dropped again last week amid numerous reruns and failing new series. Even Fox’s American Idol, which continues to pull in enormous audiences, was down more than 10 percent from the comparable week last year. Running counter to the exodus, the debut of the police drama Southland on the fourth-place network NBC produced the best numbers for a new show in the 10:00 p....

ABC IGNITES ANOTHER FOLEY CONTROVERSY ABC failed to block the screen name of one of the Congressional pages who had a sexually explicit online conversation with former Florida Congressman Mark Foley, and, as a result, a blog was able to track down his name and photograph. William Kerr of The Passionate America site, which originally posted the information, said that Foley’s correspondent, who was just shy of his 18th birthday at the time of his initial instant messaging with Foley, is now 21 years old and is currently working as deputy campaign manager for Republican Congressman Ernest Istook of Oklahoma....

Mexican auteur Michel Franco delivers both a searing and remarkably cold exploration of wealth disparity. Sundown follows a seemingly indifferent British man as he abandons his family for the trappings of Acapulco. The plot builds slowly with sparse dialogue and visual cues. Then punches in the gut with fleeting violence that brings the true scope of the narrative into focus. Sundown is a calculated character study across the societal spectrum. It paints an ugly picture of a beautiful place....

Supernatural is ending after season 15 and the cast is “struggling with a long goodbye.” Star Misha Collins is blunt when asked about what it’s like to be shooting the final episodes, though he and the rest of the cast knew it was going to be rough.

Long live punk rock! There’s a line in Hulu’s series Pistol about the Sex Pistols (which is based on guitarist Steve Jones’ memoir Lonely Boy: Tales From a Sex Pistol) where Johnny Rotten muses, “Actually, we’re not into music, we’re into chaos.” And what is punk rock if not chaos that exists in a state of musical anarchy? The Sex Pistols were born out of a desire to rage against how “terribly boring” England was in the late 1970s....
